This is a peripheral card for the Apple ][ series computers that acts as a read-only solid state disk drive (SSD) all in EPROM. Although it won’t run DOS, it is fully ProDOS compatible and will appear as a read-only hard drive even when booting from another drive. It holds 1024 KB of disk data making a full megabyte. The firmware for the card resides in block 0001 that is normally reserved for SOS boot on Apple ///. The drive boots ProDOS and into BASIC in under 1.5 seconds. This is the fourth and latest revision of the board with 4 more blocks than versions 1 through 2.5 and fixes a data buffer issue in versions 2.1, 2.5 and 3.0.
